I am happy that today we have another opportunity to turn to the Word of God. The Word says that in Christ we are victors and we are called to continue the mission He started two thousand years ago. When He came to the earth, He preached that people need to repent before God and believe the Gospel because the Kingdom has drawn near.\r\n\r\nJesus brought God\u2019s Kingdom to this earth, and He wants us to be involved in the process of expanding His Kingdom here on the earth. God wants His Kingdom to triumph over the earth. And there is no need to discuss whether it is going to happen or not, \u2013 this matter is already resolved; it will surely happen. What you need to decide is whether this spreading out will happen with your involvement or without it.\r\n\r\nI am\u00a0sure that every believer who sincerely loves God desires to be part of this process and desires to have the Kingdom of God not only within him, but also to spread it all around.\r\n\r\nAs I said before, we won\u2019t be able to expand God\u2019s Kingdom if we do not take the position of overcomers in Christ, because the expansion of this Kingdom requires a fight and a lot of effort. Also, as I said before, this effort is not used against people, but against powers of spiritual darkness. Our weapons are not carnal but spiritual.\r\n<h6>\u00abThen I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, \u201eNow salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death\u00bb(Revelation, 12:10-11).<\/h6>\r\nJohn\u00a0\u2013 the disciple of Christ \u2013 saw in the spirit the end time saints that have become overcomers. There was nothing that could stop them. Illness, poverty, feelings of insecurity, fear, rejection, failure \u2013 nothing can hinder or stop an overcomer.\r\n\r\nSatan \u2013 an accuser and our worst enemy \u2013\u00a0will do anything he can to stop the children of God. But if we as the end time believers take up the weapons that we have in Christ, we will overcome every obstacle and win the victory over every intention and work of Satan and we will continue to expand the Kingdom of God. Satan won\u2019t be able to stop us.\r\n\r\nThere are certain methods or means we can use to overcome the obstacles and challenges Satan \u2013 the enemy of our souls \u2013 may place in our way.\r\n\r\nBased on the passage of Scripture we read, it can be concluded that:\r\n\r\n1) Saints overcame Satan by the blood of the Lamb;\r\n\r\n2) They overcame Satan by the word of their testimony;\r\n\r\n3) Saints overcame Satan by not loving their lives even unto death \u2013 through their devotion to the cause of Christ. These people love Christ so much that they are ready to give even their lives to advance the work of Christ and expand His Kingdom.\r\n\r\nHow can we arm ourselves with all these types of weapons?\r\nThrough the blood of Jesus we have gained free access to God\u2019s presence. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses our conscience and makes us sensitive to the voice and leading of the Holy Spirit. Besides, because of the blood of Jesus Christ we can overcome feelings of guilt and condemnation that Satan often uses against us to steal our confidence before God.\r\n\r\nIt is very important to have the right position before God\u00a0\u2013 the position of righteousness by the blood of Jesus Christ, because this blood cleanses us from all our sins.\r\n\r\nAlso it is very important to declare what Christ has done in our lives. It is important to proclaim all the promises of God for us that have been given to us in Christ because of His work on the Cross. It is so important that our words agree with what God says about us in His Word. We must learn to see ourselves through the prism of God Himself instead of looking at ourselves through the eyes of people or, even worse, through the eyes of Satan. Only by having God\u2019s perspective can we walk in the Lord\u2019s victory.\r\n\r\nOur devotion to God and His work is essential. We must see ourselves as dead in Christ \u2013 dead to sin, to the praises of men or the glory of men. When we die to ourselves we are then able to boldly go forward and do the will of God.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>\u00abAnd they overcame\u2026 and they did not love their lives to the death \u00bb.<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\nA dead person has nothing to lose; that is why he is courageous in battle.\r\n\r\nMy desire for you is that these three simple methods of walking in God\u2019s victory become our everyday routine.\r\n\r\nTill tomorrow!\r\n\r\nGod\u2019s peace to you!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jesus brought God\u2019s Kingdom to this earth and He wants us to be involved in the process of expanding His Kingdom here, on the earth.
